Brokenness

I am at a place in my life where I feel completely broken, I’ve got things going on inside me that have left me with no choice but to place my trust in God. I’ve had to say bye to some very close friends, endured criticism for some of the things i do etc and it has really left me feeling broken. Im not broken because of one problem but…

No More Drama

When Jesus sent out his disciples to preach the gospel he gave them a strong warning that they would experience great trials and persecution. Among other statements, he did this not to scare them but to prepare them so when persecution came they where not surprised and it also confirmed that they where making an impact.
What kind of trials can I expect?
Those who are close to you may…

I’m a Millionaire [Part 2]

The world promotes a craving for physical pleasure, pride in our achievements and possessions. You can find evidence for this by watching MTV for one day, maybe even half and hour in some cases. From MTV cribs to Making the Band with P Diddy there is a constant message in the media that motivates us to chase after the cars, the house, the lifestyle etc. In other words “the American…

I’m a Millionaire

I remember in October 2004 when I heard the new release “Millionaire” by Kelis and Andree 3000, being a fan of electro beats this tune was explosive for me. As I began to listen to the lyrics I laughed because I actually woke up mad early that morning…but as the song progressed I took interest to the main message which was like a word to me. Now four years later…

Why Jesus

I grew up knowing God existed but I never followed him and never really felt accepted. I was involved in relationships that were not healthy and I took drugs and drank lots of alcohol. I basically did what I wanted with no consideration to God. I considered myself a Christian.

After ending a long term relationship my heart began to get cold and I became more focused on my career. I pursued this career in the music business and in peoples eyes I was doing well, but inside still searching. I still didn’t find the meaning or the acceptance that I was searching for. One day I saw someone talking about Jesus, I was just amazed that someone could stand there and preach so boldly.

I knew my life was not right before God and needed to change from a lifestyle of wrong living. I was invited to youth events at the church(Youth Aflame [Pre-Freedomhouse])where I began to follow the teachings of the Bible. I didn’t realize what an effect it had on me until one day my mother mentioned to me that I seemed different.

I began to feel that God was with me, but I struggled letting go of certain sinful habits. I was still smoking cannabis and struggling to let go. God was giving me direction in life and I even felt a call to preach the word of God using the gift that I have to rap. But I ignored that call for a long time.

I was given an opportunity to go and join an independent record label, so I took it, but the deal ended up going wrong and I realized that God was was showing me something. The disappointment hit me real hard and I started smoking again and got even more depressed. I thought to myself, “Maybe its time I just stop ignoring the call.” It was clear God was calling me to put him first in everything I did.

One day I saw somebody from a local church out on the streets spreading the word of God with rap music and immediately I realized it was time to put God first even if it meant not being rich and famous.

I realized that being Christian doesn’t mean that everyday is going to be trouble free or that we are perfect but as long as I sought God sincerely, I would go forward. I made a promise to endure every trial and temptation until His return and I pray you do the same.
